No taboos in the world

Chapter 252 Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Demon
"Since it is a painting of the future, then this Nine Dragons Picture could be referring to the nine dragon auras?" Wanwan guessed.

Hong Chen nodded slightly: "That's appropriate."

Apart from the dragon energy, he really couldn't find anything else related to the Nine Dragons Diagram.

Shi Feixuan also said: "There are nine dragons in this painting, but you only have four dragon energies. Could it be that this painting is reminding you to gather all nine dragon energies as soon as possible in order to complete your practice?"

"That's possible." Wanwan agreed.

Hong Chen stared at the Nine Dragons Picture, quite absorbed in it.

However, what he thought in his mind was not exactly the same as what he saw.

The old man who was painting just now gave him a very ordinary feeling. But it was precisely because of his ordinariness that he was also extraordinary.

This is not a contradiction.

From the perspective of the simplest and most direct killing, Hong Chen felt that he could kill the other party with just a thought, but when this thought really began to arise, he suddenly felt that he could not touch the other party at all.

Very amazing.

In fact, when martial arts have reached this level, perception and foresight are not false, and are even more accurate than some fortune tellers. After all, this is a matter related to one's own life.

Also.

Hong Chen also thought about communicating with the other party and even directly asking about the path after the Heavenly Man Realm, but his feeling told him that the other party knew nothing.

This is even stranger.

To sum up, think about it carefully.

When drawing the old man, he just seems to look like a person, not a real person.

If he is not a human, then what is he?

My thoughts keep drifting away.

It was not until Xiaolongnu gently tugged at his sleeve that he came back to his senses.

She gave him a reassuring look, then pointed at the nine dragons and said, "These nine dragons may look the same, but the underlying colors covered in their eyes are actually different."

Hearing this, several people immediately looked towards Longyan.

Hong Chen soon saw a hint of green at the bottom of the eyes of the dragon he was staring at. His brows raised involuntarily and he quickly looked at the other dragons.

Not long after.

His index finger slid across the Nine Dragons, and he said, "Blue, yellow, red, white, black, jet black, snow-white, gold, and inky black. Some colors are actually very similar, but as long as you see them, you know that their properties are different."

"Five elements?" Wanwan guessed.

Shi Feixuan followed up by saying, "Yin Yang?"

Xiao Long Nu: "What are the last golden and dark colors?"

Hong Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and even reached out to touch the dragon with dark eyes, and demonic energy erupted.

The color of the eyes is exactly the same as the color of the demonic energy.

Immediately, several people said in unison: "Tao, Demon."

Hong Chen nodded: "It should be."

"So, this painting of nine dragons is pointing out the direction for your future?" asked Xiaolongnu.

"Ah."

Apart from this, I'm afraid there is no better explanation.

Only in this way can it deserve to be a reward and be worthy of the strange old man who paints.

However, this Nine Dragons Picture also brought new problems to Hong Chen.

Five elements, yin and yang, Taoism, and magic, how can one possess all nine characteristics at the same time?
Now, the Bei Ming Divine Art that Hong Chen practices can be called a Taoist technique, the Demon Dragon is a magic technique, and as for the Five Elements and Yin and Yang...

Hong Chen paused for a moment and looked up.

The three of them were also looking at him, and then they said in unison: "The Secret of Immortality!"

There are seven pictures in the Changsheng Jue, which respectively symbolize the five elements of heaven and earth and yin and yang.

Such a perfect match can hardly be explained by the word "coincidence".

Wanwan sighed, "I didn't expect that I would still have to rely on the Changsheng Jue after all these years."

“But the conditions for practicing the Art of Immortality are too harsh.” Shi Feixuan frowned.

Xiao Long Nu also shook her head: "Just based on the condition of dispersing the power, it is not the first choice."

Moreover, Hong Chen had said before that whether it was the necessary conditions for practicing it or the characteristics of the technique itself, Hong Chen did not have much interest in the Art of Immortality.

Seeing that the three of them had their own worries, Hong Chen laughed.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry. The immortal secret is not the only method or treasure that controls the five elements and yin and yang in the world. I have a better way."

When it comes to purity of attributes, is there any other technique or treasure that can be better than the legendary auspicious beast?

The phoenix, black tortoise, fire unicorn and dragon should all be real.

Daqin has Taoism and Yin-Yang School, which can also make up for some attributes.

Calculated in this way, the only thing Hong Chen needs to worry about is that the amount of dragon energy he has is far from enough.

In this regard, Wanwan made a very bold suggestion: "Brother, if you kill the emperor, you can get the dragon spirit, so why not kill the emperors of Ming and Qin!"

Shi Feixuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke out to stop him: "No! Killing the emperor in such a high-profile manner will not only make many enemies, but also make it difficult for you to move forward in the future. It will also cause chaos in the world and cause public resentment. I'm afraid it will also damage your morality."

Wanwan said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? The Emperor of Song, Emperor of Yuan and Emperor of Sui all died at my brother's hands. What else do we need?"

At this time, Xiao Long Nu also said: "I'm afraid that can't be done."

"Sister Long, even you are against me?" Wanwan hugged Xiaolongnu's arm and started to act coquettishly.

Xiao Longnv said calmly, "The Emperor of Song has actually lost his country, but the Empress of Xuan Dynasty has not yet offered sacrifices to heaven and ascended the throne; the rebellious army has already risen up under the rule of Emperor Yuan, and the people are eager for his early death; the same is true for Emperor Sui, he has long lost the support of the people, and it is only a matter of time before he is overthrown. These three people are all against the world and the throne." At this point, she looked at Hong Chen, "I remember you once told me that dragon spirit is not a dragon, but the emperor's spirit transformed from the destiny of humanity."

Hong Chen understood what she meant and nodded slightly.

She continued, "Since it is the result of destiny, it must be related to heaven and earth. The three emperors of Song, Yuan, and Sui had the aura of an emperor, but lost the protection of destiny. Killing them can be regarded as acting on behalf of heaven and following the will of heaven. However, now that the Ming Dynasty is stable and the people's hearts are not dispersed, I don't know what the Ming Emperor is like, but at least I haven't heard too many bad rumors since entering the Ming Dynasty."

At this point, Wanwan couldn't help but say, "Sister Long, I know this. The Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne when he was young, and he is still young. He is unruly and indulges himself to excess. If it weren't for the help of the important officials in the court, he would probably be another Yang Guang."

"No." Shi Feixuan retorted, "I have also heard about Emperor Zhengde. He is indeed a person who enjoys pleasure, and he is particularly fond of fighting. However, it is not only the ministers who stabilize the court, but also the unique institutions and power distribution of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there is the Hulong Villa run by the Iron-hearted Marquis Zhu Wusi."

"Tsk! I think a place like Hulong Villa will be destroyed by Emperor Zhengde sooner or later. How can the emperor sleep well when an uncle of the emperor holds such great power?"

"Uncle and nephew trust each other, so why would there be any discord?"

"Shi Feixuan, when did you become so naive? They are the royal family. I guess Zhu Houzhao probably wanted to kill Zhu Wusi a long time ago."

The two were about to quarrel again, and Hong Chen hurriedly stopped them: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. What you said is right, but weren't we talking about dragon energy just now?"

Wanwan rolled her eyes at Shi Feixuan and said, "What I mean is that this emperor is not a good person either. It would be better if my brother went to the palace and killed him tomorrow." Shi Feixuan followed up with, "Emperor Zhengde has bad personal ethics, but the Ming Dynasty is peaceful now. Killing him rashly will only cause chaos in the world."

"You also think that Zhu Wusi will oppose it, right?"

"I didn't say that. It's just that there has never been a shortage of ambitious people in the world!"

"Zhu Wusi is the most ambitious person in the Ming Dynasty!"

The two men started quarreling again for no apparent reason, calling each other Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Wusi. Bai Zhantang and others were frightened and wished they were deaf.

Hong Chen was too lazy to care about them. He turned around and said to Xiao Longnu, "Wan Wan is a bit extreme. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot be killed easily. You are right. Dragon Qi is the aura of the emperor and the destiny of humanity. If Zhu Houzhao dies now, it will be harmful to the country and the people. The destiny of the Ming Dynasty is still there. I am afraid that even if I kill Zhu Houzhao, I may not be able to obtain the dragon qi."

Of course, this statement is not absolute.

If the emperor really brings chaos to the world, then as long as you kill the emperor and leave the country untouched, you should be able to obtain the dragon energy.

That’s right, I’m talking about you: the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor who Calls the Door, and the Oirat Student Zhu Qizhen!
Xiao Long Nu nodded and said, "Then the Great Qin is even worse."

Hong Chen immediately shook his head.

It is impossible to kill Ying Zheng. No matter it is emotional or logical, Hong Chen cannot do anything to him.

He even felt that if he was stubborn or bold enough to kill the other person, the backlash he would suffer would be extremely severe.

The world in Hong Chen's eyes was no longer so ordinary. Every time he looked up at the sky, he would always wonder if there were immortals, gods or Buddhas from heaven or other forces watching him.

The first emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was known as the Ancestor Dragon!

Who dares to kill?

I don’t dare anyway.

Even if we take a step back, he was inexplicably arranged to steal someone else's sword Tianwen, which means he owed a debt.

"Besides that, do you have any goals?"

The world is so small and there are only a few emperors.

The dragon energy cannot be obtained from an emperor who has never committed any misconduct, has a stable regime and has a special status.

Those emperors who have just ascended the throne are probably in trouble too, otherwise they would have been able to guard against the bug in the altar when they ascended the throne.

"I only thought of four people."

One is the emperor of the Liyang Dynasty who is the farthest away, and the other two are Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

One is the King of Chu, the other is Emperor Gaozu of Han, although they had not ascended the throne, they should have had good fortune and dragon energy in their entrepreneurial stages.

But after killing them, who will take over the Qin Dynasty after Ying Zheng's death?

Will such a change bring him greater negative impact?
Or could he allow Ying Zheng to obtain the immortality he had always dreamed of, thus making the Qin Dynasty last forever?
Little Dragon Girl didn't know what he was thinking, so she just said, "You have four dragon spirits, plus three more people, that's seven, so we still need two." After thinking for a while, she said uncertainly, "Does the dragon have dragon spirit?"

Hong Chen shook his head: "Impossible, the divine dragon is indeed a auspicious beast, and its strength must be extraordinary, but in terms of status alone, it is far inferior to the dragon spirit. The dragon spirit is named after the dragon and takes the shape of the dragon. It is a product of ancient totems and the laws of heaven. It is indeed related to the dragon clan, but the two are fundamentally different."

"It is true." Xiao Longnu was a little disappointed. She frowned and thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't get the answer.

Seeing this, Hong Chen reached out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry. As the saying goes, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Just wait and see!"

Xiao Long Nu nodded slightly and said softly, "That's the only way."

Looking back, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan's bickering was not over yet.

Hong Chen and Xiao Longnu looked at each other, and they each pulled one of them to talk to them, and only then did they stop the argument.

Afterwards, they rested in the Hongchen Inn for two days. Early on the third day, Hong Chen and five other people set out for the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as they set out on their journey, men from the Eastern Depot came up to them respectfully and spoke to them. They then sent a team of 300 men to escort them and handle miscellaneous matters.

Eunuch Cao is indeed very polite. If you put aside your prejudices and get along with him, it would be almost difficult to find any faults with him.

Hong Chen felt that if he were to become emperor, he would definitely like this type of eunuch.

Of course, Eunuch Cao’s arrangement was not that simple.

He should have known about Hong Chen's movements as soon as he returned to Ming Dynasty, but he knew that Hong Chen had been away for a long time, so he did not disturb him directly, but waited until Hong Chen left before approaching and talking to him.

The escort of such a large team actually borrowed momentum from Hong Chen.

When Zhu Wusi gets this news, he will probably be very uneasy.

After traveling for several days, Hong Chen and the others did not need to worry about their daily schedule, food and rest. The subordinates trained by Eunuch Cao arranged everything in an orderly manner.

When there were still ten miles left to the capital, the chief officer of the escort team informed Hong Chen that Cao Zhengchun was waiting for them up ahead.

Hong Chen glanced at the five women around him who were all sitting cross-legged practicing martial arts, then gently pulled open the curtain and looked forward. He immediately noticed Eunuch Cao who was standing in the middle of the official road, holding a whisk and smiling brightly.

Behind Cao Zhengchun, there were a large number of people from the East Factory following him.

The cards are quite sufficient.

However, unlike Hong Chen's previous guess, there was actually a bright yellow flag in the team.

The carriage approached and Hong Chen stepped out.

Cao Zhengchun immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Mr. Hong has traveled the world, enforced justice, punished evildoers, and gained a great reputation. I am here to welcome Mr. Hong into the city by order of His Majesty."

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Did the emperor ask you to come?"

Cao Zhengchun smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty has long heard of Mr. Hong's name, and specially sent me to meet you. If it is convenient for you, Your Majesty would like to invite you to a banquet."

"Oh?"

Hong Chen paused, nodded and said, "Sure, when?"

Cao Zhengchun smiled even more happily, and said hurriedly: "His Majesty has instructed that whenever you are free, His Majesty will hold a banquet, today is fine."

"Tonight, then."

As soon as he opened his mouth to respond, he heard the hurried sound of horse hooves coming from the welcoming team.

After a while, Shangguan Haitang, whom he had met once, came riding on a horse, followed by many warriors.

She didn't seem to see Cao Zhengchun, and bowed directly to Hong Chen: "I heard that Senior Xielong had arrived, so I'm late in welcoming you. I hope you won't blame me!"

"No wonder, no wonder." Hong Chen smiled and responded, then asked bluntly, "Are you here to invite me to a banquet too?"

Shangguan Haitang was startled when she heard this, and suddenly felt something was wrong. She finally turned her gaze to Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun nodded with a smile.

Shangguan Haitang's eyes turned, and after a few breaths, he said, "I wonder when you will be free, Senior. Hulong Villa will definitely prepare a bed for you!"

"How about tomorrow night?"

"Okay, thank you for your honor, Senior. I won't bother you any more and will go back to prepare the banquet. Goodbye!"
